Seminoles $1M free play giveaway Saturday

Early birds and all daytime slot players have an incentive to visit the Seminole casinos on Saturday: All three will give away a total of $1 million in free play before sunset.

It comes via two giveaways. First, one player at one of the three properties will win $25,000 in free play every 20 minutes from 8 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. That makes for $750,000 split among 30 people. Second, the Seminoles will spread around $25,000 in free play every hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. across all three casino floors. That free play will be automatically downloaded onto each player’s club card.

Don’t expect to win much, though. If, say, 2,500 players are on the slots, each player will only win $10 in free play.

Nick Sortal began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood hold 'em game in Plantation.
